RETNA, born Marquis Lewis, is an American street artist known for his distinctive calligraphic style that combines elements from ancient scripts, hieroglyphics, and modern graffiti. His intricate compositions are built from a unique, invented alphabet, blending influences from Arabic, Egyptian, Hebrew, and Native American cultures, creating visual poems that are both cryptic and rhythmic. RETNA’s work often explores themes of identity, spirituality, and the power of language, capturing an aura of mystery and reverence. The bold, abstracted script, applied in sweeping, repetitive patterns, transforms walls, canvases, and even fashion items into meditative experiences that invite viewers to interpret deeper meanings
